Center Parcs shuts down Elizabeth II’s funeral, angering customers
Everyone is outside. Center Parcs holiday centers in the UK caused an uproar when they said they would be closing for a day The funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, next Monday. Before finally agreeing to allow long-term clients to stay on site…
The tourism group said in a statement on Tuesday that “all villages in the UK will be closed for one day on Monday (…) out of respect for Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral And to enable as many of our employees as possible to participate in this historic moment.”
Center Parcs infuriated its clients by telling them they should have left their holiday village by 10am on Monday and not return, in the case of an extended stay, until the next day, forcing them to look for alternative accommodation at the last minute. Travelers who were due to start their stay on Monday were also asked to make arrangements to arrive only on Tuesday. “We hope our customers will understand this decision to accompany the Queen on her final voyage,” adds Center Parks, which promises discounts or refunds to concerned customers.
On Wednesday, in the face of a torrent of complaints, the group revised its decision to allow a minority of guests who would be in the middle of their stay to stay in their huts and in the garden, even if all services were closed, and according to the doorman, Khattab joined AFP.
“Not everyone is mine”
Before Center Parks’ turnaround, Tracy Groom, 58, was concerned about where her group of 9 would sleep on Monday amid a planned stay at Elveden Forest Resort in Suffolk, which was expected to cost more than 2,500 pounds. “I am sure this is not what the Queen wants,” she told the Palestinian News Agency.
Glenys Milloy, 68, is due to stay at Longleat Forest Center with six people, costs £1,800 and, when asked by PA, asks: “What are we supposed to do all day? Not everyone is royal, and not everyone wants to watch” Funeral” on TV.
